Isaías 63
1 Quem é este, que vem de Edom, com vestidos tintos de Bozra? este ornado com a sua vestidura, que marcha com a sua grande força? Eu, que falo em justiça, poderoso para salvar.
[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
2 Porque estás vermelho na tua vestidura? e os teus vestidos como aquele que piza no lagar?
[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
3 Eu pizei só o lagar, e dos povos ninguém houve comigo; e os pizei na minha ira, e os atropelei no meu furor; e o seu sangue se aspergia sobre os meus vestidos, e manchei toda a minha vestidura.
[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
4 Porque o dia da vingança estava no meu coração; e o ano dos meus remédios é chegado.
I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
5 E olhei, e não havia quem me ajudasse; e espantei-me de que não houvesse quem me sustivesse, pelo que o meu braço me trouxe a salvação, e o meu furor me susteve.
I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
6 E atropelei os povos na minha ira, e os embebedei no meu furor; e a sua força derribei por terra.
Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
7 Das benignidades do Senhor farei menção, e dos muitos louvores do Senhor, conforme tudo quanto o Senhor nos fez; e da grande bondade para com a casa de Israel, que usou com eles segundo as suas misericórdias, e segundo a multidão das suas benignidades.
I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
8 Porque dizia: contudo meu povo são, filhos que não mentirão: assim se lhes fez Salvador.
Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
9 Em toda a angústia deles ele foi angustiado, e o anjo da sua face os salvou; pelo seu amor, e pela sua compaixão ele os remiu; e os tomou, e os trouxe sobre si todos os dias da antiguidade.
When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
10 Porém eles foram rebeldes, e contristaram o seu Espírito Santo; pelo que se lhes tornou em inimigo, e ele mesmo pelejou contra eles.
But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
11 Todavia se lembrou dos dias da antiguidade, de Moisés, e do seu povo. Porém onde está agora o que os fez subir do mar com os pastores do seu rebanho? onde está o que punha no meio deles o seu Espírito Santo?
Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
12 O que o braço da sua glória fez andar à mão direita de Moisés? o que fendeu as águas diante deles, para se fazer um nome eterno?
Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
13 O que os guiou pelos abismos, como o cavalo no deserto; nunca tropeçaram.
Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
14 Como a besta que desce aos vales, o espírito do Senhor lhes deu descanço: assim guiaste ao teu povo, para te fazeres um nome glorioso.
They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
15 Atenta desde os céus, e olha desde a tua santa e gloriosa habitação. Onde estão o teu zelo e as tuas forças? o arroido das tuas entranhas, e das tuas misericórdias, detém-se para comigo!
[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
16 Porém tu és nosso pai, ainda que Abraão nos não conhece, e Israel não nos reconhece: Tu, ó Senhor, és nosso pai; nosso redentor desde a antiguidade é o teu nome.
You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
17 Porque, ó Senhor, nos fazes errar dos teus caminhos? Porque endureces o nosso coração, para que te não temamos? Torna, por amor dos teus servos, às tribos da tua herança.
Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
18 Só por um pouco de tempo a possuiu o teu santo povo: nossos adversários pizaram o teu santuário.
We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
19 Somos feitos como aqueles sobre quem tu nunca dominaste, e como os que nunca se chamaram pelo teu nome.
Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
